Abstract We study chiral-odd quark-antiquark correlation functions suitable for lattice calculations of twist-three nucleon parton distribution functions hL(x) and e(x), and also the twist-two transversity distribution δq(x). The corresponding factorized expressions are derived in terms of the twist-two and twist-three collinear distributions to one-loop accuracy. The results are presented both in position space, as the factorization theorem for Ioffe-time distributions, and in momentum space, for quasi- and pseudo-distributions. We demonstrate that the twist-two part of the hL quasi(pseudo)-distribution can be separated from the twist-three part by virtue of an exact Jaffe-Ji-like relation.

Abstract Over the last decade, theoretical and experimental engagement of transverse-spin phenomena has unlocked tantalizing opportunities for new insights into nucleon structure and hadronization. Observables such as hadrons in jets and dihadron correlations from polarized proton collisions provide access to the transversity distribution function at a range of x complementary to existing semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) experiments but at a much higher range of Q 2. Moreover, these two observables give access through two different factorization frameworks–transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) and collinear–enabling a unique path to address questions concerning factorization-breaking and the universality of TMD functions. Data collected by STAR have revealed the first observations of transverse single-spin asymmetries in the azimuthal distributions of dihadron correlations and hadrons within jets from polarized proton collisions at both s = 500 GeV and 200 GeV. The STAR 200 GeV dihadron data have recently been included in global analyses that for the first time include SIDIS, e + e −, and p + p data to extract the transversity distribution. The STAR hadron-in-jet data provide a unique opportunity to illuminate longstanding questions: Do factorization and universality extend to the TMD picture in proton-proton collisions, e.g. through the Collins mechanism? How do TMD functions evolve with changing kinematics? The STAR dihadron and hadron-in-jet data will be presented and discussed in context with the recent global analyses and model calculations.

The transversity distribution, which describes transversely polarized quarks in a transversely polarized nucleon, is a fundamental component of the current picture of the spin structure of the nucleon, and is only loosely constrained by existing semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering data. The di-hadron interference fragmentation function (IFF), which describes the fragmentation of transversely polarized quarks, is expected to give rise to spin-dependent di-hadron correlations in p[Formula: see text]+p collisions. Significant di-hadron correlations have recently been measured at RHIC in p[Formula: see text]+p collisions at [Formula: see text] = 200 GeV at mid-rapidity. In 2011, STAR collected p[Formula: see text]+p data at [Formula: see text] = 500 GeV, allowing STAR to extend these di-hadron asymmetries into a previously unexplored kinematic region. The status of the charge-ordered pion pair asymmetry measurement from [Formula: see text] = 500 GeV p[Formula: see text]+p collisions will be presented.
